Statham is incredibly talented, often doing many of his own stunts-especially with regards to operating motor vehicles. Statham follows a long line of action entertainers which include Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke and Steven “Stone Cold Steve” Austin-all of whom have been in one or more of The Expendables films. The last is extremely appropriate, as it is a sort of meta-humor gag in which most of the cast are former and present action stars. The action film franchises he has played a role in include The Transporter, Crank, Fast & Furious and The Expendables. The roles he takes on tend to be heightened-almost superhuman-characterizations of mercenaries or otherwise skilled fighters, drivers and/or killers. Jason Statham is an action star in the classic, campy sense that many of us love.
